Q-comply encompasses the Wta-Comply application, which helps you to be and stay "In Control" with reference to your Wta compliance relating to your license which was obtained by you from the Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM).

With the introduction of the Wta, Bta and other regulatory requirements for accountancy firms, the rules have become more stringent. The accountants’ organisations, not the individual accountant, are now the focal point of the regulatory process. Accountancy firms retain their duty of care, so that they also need to monitor that their external accountants (still) meet the requirements that they personally need to meet. This means a broadening of your responsibility as a firm owner or compliance officer.

Balancing pragmatism and compliance

The goal of removing the worry from compliance with all license requirements for accountancy firms should be: navigating through compliance processes efficiently and effectively to ensure support of a dynamic and elaborate business environment. It is a good idea for accountants to keep reminding themselves that the Wta is principle-based. A professional, common sense approach is more important than satisfying formal requirements without any practical purpose.  It is important that the essence of the rules is satisfied. Careful consideration and its recording are important and must be facilitated as much as possible. The right software tools can support this process.
